Impact (why)
Improving Perl code quality and documentation is a great way to help the project move forward at a faster pace in the future.
Having less bugs also greatly improves the user and contributors experience.
Having a cleaner code, may also help having more contributions to the perl code base.
Expected outcomes (what)
Improve code quality by:
- adding unit tests to functions that lack them
- adding integration tests
- investigating the cause of warnings (e.g. unitialized variables) and fixing them
- possibly refactoring some parts of the code to make it more simple and readable
